This is a group to honour Brainy Smurf, the sarcastic, lecturing, arrogant, talkative, condescending, whiny smurf that all the other smurfs find incredibly annoying. But he's also adorable - our favourite little know-nothing-know-it-all. =D

Group Rules

Because Brainy loves rules! =D
:bulletblue: No art thieves, this one's a given of course.
:bulletblue: No drama please... We're all here to appreciate how smurfy Brainy is. :aww:
:bulletblue: You've got to remember that The Smurfs is a children's cartoon. No themes that are too mature please... Art that is deemed as containing mature content may or may not be negotiated and allowed to be entered into the group =D
:bulletblue: ...Genderbending is allowed. (Hey, it's actually canon! XD)
:bulletblue: ...Pairings are allowed too. :I
:bulletblue: OCs, originals, crossovers... all welcome.
:bulletblue: All deviations must include Brainy, obviously. He has to be somewhere in the picture. Preferably a key part of the picture. Submissions may be denied if he is only a teensy weensy part of the picture. (e.g less than 5% of the picture). A picture in a smurfy setting containing lots of smurfs would probably be an exception to this.
:bulletblue: Cartoon version of Brainy is allowed only. Not the movie version; there's a difference. If you want to submit pictures of the movie version of Brainy, that can be done elsewhere, or you could create your very own club for him! =D
:bulletblue: Repeat after me: Everything you can do Brainy does better, everything you can do Brainy does better... :XD:
:bulletblue: Brainy's glasses are a key identifiable aspect of who he is, and set him apart from other smurfs. Therefore, I would ask that his glasses are made evident in the picture, or if he's not wearing them, make sure the picture clarifies this, but still confirms that it's Brainy. You can modify his glasses and make them less noticeable if you wish of course - as long as it's clear that he HAS glasses. =D
:bulletblue: I will add more rules if I see it necessary =D
Just a reminder that this group is intended as a fanclub for the Brainy Smurf from the 1980s cartoon and/or original smurf comics only. I've noticed that a few movie-based stuff has snuck into this group.

As for the recently submitted Brainy/Hackus pictures, I'm not sure what to do about those, because Hackus is from the movie, but I think the Brainy in those pictures is from the cartoon? So technically, I guess the loophole there is that it is permitted, as long as it's cartoon Brainy. However, I'm not sure whether to submit those pictures to Brainy/Original or Brainy/OC, because Hackus is not an original cartoon character, but he's not invented by the drawer either? Hmmm...

But I just wanted to put up this journal as a friendly reminder to our group members... Try and keep it limited to 1980s smurfs cartoon/comics Brainy, okay? =)

Worst Brainy smurf episodeWhere's my smurfway, the first episode of season 2 is in my opinion, THE WORST EPISODE of the whole smurfs series. In fact this episode is so bad that it deserved an entire essay about it and it’s the definition of shoving useless characters into the background and flanderizing the main characters. And this time, i am not exaggerating as i severely hate this episode with all my soul. If i could delete it out of existence, i'd be happy. Originally, the two episodes I loathed the most were ''Who's Heftier'' an episode from season 1 and ''Smurfette overdoes it'' an episode from season 2. ''Smurfette overdoes it'' was an episode with rushed plot due to attempting to reach the 10 minute mark. They just directly made one action to a singular character, that is make Smurfette lazy and after they got over it. First they make Smurfette a sudden ''hard worker who carries all the smurfs chores'' to ''Smurfette pushes her limits and gets exhausted''. And then after they made Smurfette lazy, suddenly ALL the village becomes lazy and Papa smurf steals the spotlight. (About time) And yes, the story itself is ridiculously lazy! ''Who’s Heftier'' was all about the worst character, aka Smurfette, grabbing all of the attention, Hefty lying to himself because he's obsessed with Smurfette and then have Smurfette be once again the ''Selfless hero'' by lying to every smurf about a meteor crashing the strongest smurf just to help Hefty get his fame as strongest smurf back as well as mocking any smurf who are lower status than them. They didn't care about Hefty smurf and they clearly had no plans for that episode. But from torturing every single smurf girl to sacrifice their character for the sake of comedy, to the most rushed and laziest plot progress i've ever seen, this episode single-handedly has all the flaws!!! Surpassing my two least favorite episodes!! No episode made me as uncomfortable as this episode alone. I am a Brainy stan by the way so watching this episode just worsened my soul and it seemed that my body has now a severe allergic reaction to the smurfway/scooter itself. So this essay will talk about every single flaw in this episode and as a bonus, we’ll talk about why smurfway is a dangerous weapon and not a useful transportation.You might be wondering why i am writing this post in a fan club for Brainy fans. I am a long term Brainy fan and i have been like this since age 8 or 9 when I first discovered the smurfs. But in episode ''Where's my smurfway?'', this is the first and only time I actually hated Brainy in this episode. Or rather, an imposter of Brainy! This post is generally about the episode and I may speak about other characters since i am saying the episode in general. So I thought to myself, if i have to suffer, then so do Brainy fans. Yes, I need you to be miserable and suffer like me! And keep in mind that my posts about general cartoons have a lot of satirical humor and cringe jokes as I adore exaggerating a lot in my posts. In the end, all i do is share my opinions with the world. Chapter 1: Plot The episode starts with Handy smurf making improvements on a smurfway for Brainy so that it looks good as new and then as soon as Brainy said “There’s a stain there.“ that’s when i knew that i can’t imagine how terrible the episode will soon become. We then get this montage of Brainy worshiping his smurfway as if it was part of a religion, as well as saying this infamous sentence. “If you could speak, i’m sure you’d say yes’ That’s when i knew that Brainy is going to be flanderized in this specific episode and in no other episode. Even other characters like Handy and that one smurf in the background has the exact same reaction as me, disgusted. He then does bizarre things the normal Brainy would never do like massaging the freaking scooter to straight up kissing it, wishing it to talk, calling it my precious, scrubbing it, giving it perfume, and if you’re traumatized from here, too bad, we’re just getting warmed up. Blossom then comes to Brainy and asked to borrow his smurfway and then Brainy threatens Blossom because he’s too much attached to this stupid scooter. Blossom, needed the scooter to gather some roses for her hat, threatens Brainy using the Papa smurf method. The papa smurf method is to threaten a smurf that they’ll tell papa smurf if they don’t lend over their things and Blossom has a right to threaten Brainy in this method because Brainy in this episode is selfish. After Blossom has the smurfway, she is unable to ride it and we’ll get to the scooter itself later on. Oh wait a minute, the smurfway is used to oh boy A bell on behalf of the Half moon parade, yeah i don’t think we need a smurfway for that. Then we see Storm with her archery and Lilly too. They tell her that she doesn’t need to travel far and that the flowers are next to them and because Blossom left the scooter unattanted she would later loose it, leading to Brainy being annoyed and going through an emotional crisis by writers magic, thus starting this stupid plot. Once the girls reliezes that the scooter is missing, Blossom started to overreact about how mad Brainy will be. Like am I supposed to believe that? Let alone kids watching this episode. Later on, a useless character, Smurfette gets slapped into the background because she apparently is so nosey (if you’re a smurfette fan say curious) along with her stupid lines Blossom: I lost the smurfway Smurfette: Oh that’s bad Now the episode was separated into two seperate conflicts. One confict invovles the 3 girls finding the smurfway and the other being Smurfette trying to stall (stop progression) Brainy. Let’s start with the first half of the conflict with the smurf girls. This conflict has mini conflicts. First they try to figure out where the dumbass scooter is by throwing Bigmouth as a flanderized character, who is too dumb to figure out the use of a scooter (the answer is no use) that’s one conflict. Then the next conflict comes with a monkey stealing it. The third conflict comes with Wild smurf using it just as we thought that the episode was over. Yes the smurfway along with the stupid girls gets swallowed by a snake, gets spat out and it was supposed to be crushed by a rock until Storm magically saves it and that supposedly happy moment was ruined. No happiness in this episode so i cannot enjoy this episode. And keep in mind that while several characters like the monkey and Wild smurf are shoved into the background because something attracts them to a scooter, the girls are constantly running towards it as if the scooter was a gingerbread man, running until it’s peers get exhausted as well as acting like a hive mind people with no individual personalities. So there, 3 conflicts with 4 characters shoved in their, these include Bigmouth, the snake from episode Smurf fu, the monkey from season 1 and Wild smurf as an introduction to welcome season 2. Wild smurf seriously deserved a better introduction. Now for the second half of the conflict, Smurfette job’s is to stall Brainy but this conflict is way worse than the mindless smurf girls chasing for the McGuffin. First she distracts by asking him a question leading to Brainy lecturing her why would Smurfette self-sabotage herself? And because the writers had no idea what else to do, they just had Brainy lecture Smurfette while they have lunch and…… and called it a day. There is also an infamous gross out potty humor. Normally it isn’t that bad in other episodes, i mean i hated it but i could tolerate but this episode takes the whole cake for grossing me out. Until now i am traumatized. This episode itself is so bizarre and poorly written. Some tv shows are meant to be weird in a good way like character development or environment, but this episode isn’t weird in a good way. Papa smurf is another character shoved into the background who serves no purpose, just a running gag to remind Brainy his role in the smurf parade. It gets worse from there that in order to truly distract the smart smurf from worrying about a drugged scooter, Smurfette guides Brainy to A DANCE!!! The dance is easily the weirdest part of the episode. After this is when the two conflicts fuse together to form the worst Brainy scene ever. Smurfette spills the truth, to find Blossom, Brainy saying “out of my way!“ steals a tractor and the two stupid veichles crash. A bell fells off causing Brainy to believe that his smurfway broke throwing a pathetic tantrum. I can’t believe Brainy shed actual tears, it’s just childish. As much as i wish that the smurfway broke earlier (just to end this episode already, unfortunately it doesn’t, the bell is fixed on it, the parade begins, and plot twist, the smurfway collapses and the episode is ended with a idiotic line “MY PRESSURE!!!'' (The actual line is my precious but i swear i heard this word myself) And Blossom’s description of the scooter that it isn’t o strong after all is very accurate. And there, that’s the plot of the episode! Can you believe it? I despise the plot of the episode because it’s purely a waste of time both for writers making this episode and the characters, the plot itself is ridiculous too, it would be instantly better if they replaced the smurfway with a pair of glasses and Smurfette had to guide Brainy around or better replace Smurfette with someone like Lilly, Blossom and Storm, have one of them do the stalling and the two do the work because Smurfette seriously serves no purpose in this episode! You know who else serves no purpose in this episode? Papa smurf and Handy smurf. There have been some bad episodes like Who’s nose, Smurf Fu, Where’s Papa smurf because in my opinion the smurf episodes starting from the Pluffs with the exception of Clumsy not Clumsy got better with time just some of the episodes are boring just maybe the special episodes like Smurfy secrets are great and after this episode they tried to come up with new adventures new characters, my personals being Leaf, Meterorite and Rocky. This episode, being the first of season 2 was not only a horrible way to introduce Wild smurf and the superstar couples but it was also the worst way to introduce season 2, you can argue that it tried to bring all charaters we previously knew until now but i bet they can do a better job than that. Season 2 deserved a better start. As much as how bland the plot is written, the characters are even worse. 5 characters were all badly written and out of character, it feels like the writers hated them and purposefully gave them this bad plot starting with……….. Characters Smurfstorm If you ask me which girl smurf i think is the true tomboy of the village, it’s Smurfstorm. With time, i have come to appreciate Storm a lot, i think 2021 writers did some great justice for her, just wish she deserved better. When it comes to any situation, Storm has no problem standing up for herself. She’s also a better fighter in terms of endurance, agility and strength. What i like best about Storm is that she isn’t perfect, she has an arrogant and competitive side and i like it. She’s like my character Solar, both like to show off, not afraid of being threatened, know their rights and the best part, sarcasim. When the time comes, Storm can be very caring about her people, she actually cares about others even though she may not often like to show her soft side like a dislike of hugging but she is a character i can relate to, showing off innocentely but also selfless. Unlike Smurfette who just act flawless, Storm gets punishment for her actions. The last thing to mention is that she has a smart side which can help in her stragetizing in taking out her oppoments in a fight like againist the howlibird in lost village movie or againist Gargamel in Smurfy secrets episode. In the beginning of the episode, Storm displaces her sarcastic side but that’s it. The rest of the episode, it seemed like while writing the plot, the writers had no time letting Storm be her own character. She is just a emotionless, mindless, idiotic character who suffered from a severe case of being a hive mind together with Lilly and Blossom. And i’m pretty sure she doesn’t care about the scooter at all, i’m sure that she just goes along with it just to get over with it and make Blossom happy. Fortunately, her case despite being severe, it’s not as bad as the other cases other characters they suffered. She’s at least stage 1 in terms of severity. I still love Storm but unlike other characters, she doesn’t leave behind a wounded scar like others. SmurfLilly Honestly, I don’t know who should Lilly be. Who is she? What is she? Probably because i never read smurf comics, specifically Village behind the wall, in my life. When she was first introduced in the movie, i got this impression that she was gentle and kind character, she’s like a shoulder to cry on, honestly, she should replace Smurfette. She’s a much friendlier character and compassionate than Smurfette. Unfortunately, Lilly was ruined in the series which made me lose my impression, i think the writers got nothing to do with her, the least they did is have her read books in her spare time while watching Storm practise her archery. At least she isn’t copying the bookworm smurf unlike Smurfette. She is her own character. Smurfette is just Lilly and Storm and Blossom and many more smurf characters fused together. In the new series, they tried to make Lilly do something like cooking and poet writing. It would be better if they gave her an aritistic and culteral taste because it really suits her, especially since the writers are blending in tv tropes and character traits with smurfs, this would be perfect. Otherwise, she’s just as boring as Smurfette who is no better. Like i mentioned about Storm, Lilly is another character in this specific episode who is so emotionless and idiotic, bland in every characterization, the internet says that she thinks before she jump into conclusions. Well, not in this epiosde. The writers didn’t think twice about Lilly’s character. When you have 10 minutes to tell a story, the answer is to get lazy and don’t create any development. That’s what this episode is all about. I’m also certain that Lily also doesn’t care about the scooter and just goes along with it because the script says so. Geez, what a wasted potential for her. For any character! She is in stage 2 in terms of severity. But now we have to tolerate even worse characters. Blossom Shame on Blossom because she’s the reason the stupid plot began. A negative trait on her is that she takes various objects and messes with them because i personally think that maybe she is curious and for sure demostrates curiosity better than Smurfette whom i don’t even know who she is anymore, the writers didn’t care about any other character trait and just went with what they picked and extended it. The first impression of Blossom would be that she is hyperactive and energetic but she’s also very talkative. Her character traits, energetic, full of life is something that Smurfette shouldn’t be having. Yeah sure, she can be annoying with her hyperactivness but at least she isn’t trying to be a forced tomboy or an arrogant Mary sue. She has her flaws and that’s a good thing. She follows the tv trope of girly girl which is shown by this episode where she wanted to get flowers to match her hat, indicating she has sense of style. Out of all the characters, I think that Blossom is the most kind and innocent character because she clearly cares about others from what i’ve seen more than other characters, at least she presents it more cleary. Sure she does have some stuborness but i’d prefer if she was a bit of a hothead, actually hothead suit better Smurfette just to avoid being flawless and all. What am i saying? I think that stubborness suits perfectly for Blossom and it would be nice to demostrate some halarious yet innocent peice of foolishness. I blame her so much for starting the episode. She should’ve known that Brainy will overreact over a scooter, yes Brainy is a bad character in this episode but I despise Blossom in this episode for starting it. She tries to take the scooter even though she doesn’t need it, like is she lazy!? She could just walk, even Storm acknowlege that. Not only that, yes i pointed out how she should’ve known that Brainy will overreact but Blossom should also not overreact herself, like when she told others about her losing the scooter, she exagerrates how mad Brainy will be. It’s as if Blossom is treating Brainy as if he is her boss and she’s the employee worried about getting fired. Right after it, she becomes as bland an mindless as Lilly and Storm and you know already who she is when i describe Storm and Lilly in this episode. That’s still stage 2 along with Lilly in severity. At least she gets more emotion and anxiety and worry. I am pissed that the writers just threw away the three girls in the dust. But none of them are as bad as the other two characters. Starting with the character that gets a silver medal for no redeemable qualities in this specific episode Smurfette Did the writers have the nerve to shove Smurfette into the background? NO!!! You could just have one of the girls stall Brainy and the two find the smurfway. Smurfette served zero purpose in the episode. She could easily be replaced and nothing would have changed. Like Blossom or Storm because they’ve interacted with Brainy before. I don’t mind many characters in one conflict but Smurfette is just really bland and doesn’t apply anything special in this episode. Smurfette’s curiosity is applied and i think that Smurfette being curious is very accurate but i prefer if she had like short attention spans. And clearly, she just serves just to be forced to be a likable character by stalling Brainy and pretending to care about him, even self-sabotaging herself to listen to Brainy’s lecture. Geez i bet that Smurfette can stall Brainy for 24 hours straight while her friends find the pointless object and they get captured by Gargamel while Smurfette is unaware of everything because she ordered Brainy to lecture her about everything 24/7. There’s nothing to talk about Smurfette, everything has been covered in my review why she’s overrated. She’s just that bland and she will always be bland. I’m just thankful she doesn’t become all arrogant and the person who solves everything stereotype. I also don’t get to see her stupid kung fu moves again, thank god. But she was responsible for being a part of the disgusting scene that until now it traumatize me. She as well as Blossom takes the situation too seriously and exaggerates how Brainy will feel. She says that losing the smurfway is bad when again, there’s nothing wrong with losing a scooter. I’m glad Smurfette spilled the beans because it would be better if she was brutally honest. At least I can relate to her. She’s in stage 3 in terms of severity. Now before we move on to the worst character of this specific episode, here are some dishournable mentions, can we just agree that Papa smurf and Handy smurf were useless to the story. Why did Handy even built the scooter? Anyways who invented it? Who in their mind had this idea? And I feel so sorry fo other smurfs having to witness Brainy’s tantrums. Whoever was involved in this episode, the smurfs need have surgery to heal themselves. The next character i will speak will be longer than others that i speak about because he’s my fav and the writers just did him wrong. It’s going to get more personal. Everyone’s warmed up? Good! Brainy I’m certain that this is an imposter of Brainy who probably stole his glasses to pretend to be him. Yes that’s how much i hate Brainy in this specific episode and i refuse to hate him in any other media. I can’t even recognize him, he’s not the Brainy i know. I don’t even recall him being so obsessed with something unimportant other than books that has nothing to do with his character or being ridiculously childish because the writers command him to embarrass himself in front of the audience face. Bare with me guys, I am a childhood Brainy fan, I have always been his biggest fan since I was 8. And I ship him with Clumsy. But Brainy in this specific episode alone broke my brain as mentioned in the beginning of the journal. So, I am just warning all Brainy fans about this episode. Brainy is so heartless and selfish in this episode that he is so obsessed with his scooter to the point that he has no mercy about anyone when they are severely in danger, even himself, but his scooter where he would have a ridiculous mental breakdown if he loses it. Ok, I get it that the scooter is shown in many episodes just for background space but who had this sick minded idea to make the relationship with the scooter that personal!? When he looked at scooter as if he was worshipping it, i knew immediately what the writers were going to do to my man. I hate how Brainy mistreated Blossom. Brainy worships the scooter to the point that he wishes it to talk. Did someone give him a concussion? And then when Blossom just wanted to innocently borrow it, he starts to be so childish and selfish. Wait a minute, was he always this selfish? The only good scene of him and the entire episode is him watching Blossom clumsily ride of the scooter looking concerned. And then i think the writers wanted Brainy to traumitize other smurfs because everyone watching looks surprised. He traumitized me together with Smurfette with this gross out scene. Once you see it, you can never unsee it. And the only time Brainy is himself is when he lectures Smurfette. When i see that guy lecturing another smurf, i know that everything is ok. Overall, it seemed like Brainy in this episode acts so obsessive, paranoid and idiotic. Here’s something we, Brainy fans, need to all remember. Brainy: Can translate multiple languages (Smurfy secrets and Doctor Brainy and minister dumb), solve complex math equations, manipulate people depending on situation, expert strategizing Also Brainy: Doesn’t figure out that Smurfette is suspicious, doesn’t think that the smurfway isn’t broken just the bell is off. Finally, Brainy is known for his infamous line, “My precious’“. (I wish the actual line was my pressure, that would be hilarious) Why does he even call it my precious as if he’s a witch of the forest. You know, if the writers wanted, they might as well have Brainy date the scooter. Because we all know what Brainy truly can’t live without. (it's secret, you Brainy fans decide) He’s in stage 4 in terms of severity, because he’s the worst character in this specific episode. I don’t even know how i’m still a Brainy fan after this episode, the one who wrote the story clearly knows nothing about the smurfs and the one who accepted it, you’re lazy. It’s better if they just leave him alone. Bonus (Why the smurfway is a torture weapon and not a useful transportation) Let’s put on our engineer outfit and discuss why the smurfway is made to injure anyone who rides on it. Feel free to skip this chapter because this isn't important to the journal and it's just a joke. First let’s start with the top, the handle. In a normal scooter, the handle is connected to a wheel in order to allow the top to turn in two different diretions and so we can turn the scooter. In the case of the smurfway, as the handle is not connected to the wheel, we cannot easily turn the scooter into different directions, we have to tilt the scooter on one wheel to turn it. This makes turning the scooter very dangerous as you have lack of control of turning and there’s a chance you can fall off one side. And without turning the scooter it’s also dangerous. Perhaps the most dangerous thing about this scooter is that it has no brakes so you cannot slow down the scooter nor stop it. Anyone who rides on it will have lack of control over it, lose balance and potentially cause propety damage and injuries to people. I suppose that it’s introduce a concept of technology because technology is advancing, taking over our lives and making them easier in order to interact with children to introduce them to the real world because the smurfs never use technology, they use books and magic. If this is not the effect that the creator of this plot was going for, then every writer and animator responsible for the storyboarding and writing, they should all go to JAIL for at least 2 weeks or at least get suspended for 2 weeks. List of disgusting moments This episode has a lot of disgusting, cringe moments on offer at a discount meant to traumitize you, we’re selling Brainy grooming the scooter Blossom kissing him Smurfette stalking Brainy Dialogue Flying scooters Gross out moment Smurfette lying to Brainy The dance of Smurfette and Brainy Brainy finding out the truth (pose included) Brainy crying (pose included) The ending Conclusion This is the worst episode in the smurfs series. I am a Brainy fan who hates this episode. The story was rushed. The characters was all over the place. Everyone acts so stupid. And Brainy seems to be on drugs. Thank goodness characters like Clumsy, Begonia and Hefty weren't shoved into the mix. Because if so..........................

(Stabs the smurf)To everyone who isn’t a Brainy fan, I recommend you skip this post and wait for me to upload the next another one. It isn’t really important anyway. What is with the smurfs trying so hard to push a nerdy smurf into the background while they try to tell us that Smurfette is smart? At first, I thought that they hated smart smurfs, especially Nickelodeon. But it just seems that they won’t allow any smurf to act smart! I am looking at you Nickelodeon! If another smurf makes a smart decision, they get ‘’karma because they are stupid’’. As soon as there is no Smurfette involved, then BOOM!!! You will finally see Brainy doing something that is smart. Do you expect me to just sleep unconscious with episode ‘’Smurf-fu’’ in my mind and ignore my childhood fan favorite character’s existence?NO!!! I am just going to go ‘’Brainy smurf mode’’ for as long as I write this journal, lie on my bed and start complaining about the new smurf series. So that I can speed run getting cancelled from the smurfs group for being a 2021 smurf series hater, which is currently ongoing!I have already spread the curse to Hefty, Smurfette and Papa smurf. But I guess things will be different for this special case. In my personal opinion, I think that Brainy neither got any pros nor cons. People will say that he is terrible in the 1980s series, some say he improved in the Nickelodeon series, and I think that nothing changed in Brainy at all! Seriously, nothing has impacted on Brainy whatsoever. Somehow, he manages to please me with the new series and keep me on life support while I embrace the new smurf series and its two seasons. Along with Storm and some other characters, they actually carry the whole show. I think Nickelodeon is trying so hard to make us, the audience, hate Brainy smurf. Even harder than weightlifting 89kg of weight which would make every single wrestler in the world, working for Nickelodeon, lose their reputation. I believe, as a long time Brainy fan, that I should start giving refreshment as I wouldn’t be a typical Brainy fan for nothing who somehow relates to him. So, yeah, let’s have a warm up and I am going to say the harsh truth to everyone!Chapter 1: Why do most smurf fans like Brainy smurf?People are Brainy smurf fans for two main reasons and two sub-reasons, let me break it down.Reason 1: They say that they have the same personality as himHonestly, I do not think of Brainy as an arrogant smurf despite all the actions he has done in the 1981 series. You can all take out your guns and sent me to court. But hear me out;If I had to be honest, Brainy is bland. But the truth is that, like every character, even arrogant ones, has a soft side. If only, Nickelodeon learned that lesson, maybe they wouldn’t have turned him into scrappy character. I am pretty sure that we, in our society, have seen two sides of intelligent people. They, either, don’t want to admit that they are smart because they feel insecure about themselves, because that’s one feature when you don’t want to admit that you are great, or they are ego-istical that they feel the need to grab attention and show off. And of course, they are misunderstood by everyone around them. According to what I read in various websites, they keep on commenting that they relate to Brainy. You see everyone; the ability to relate to a character in TV shows is a powerful element that makes people adores the characters. According to what I have read about various smurf Wikipedia’s, people say that they have similar personality of Brainy. Honestly, I think the only personality I can make out; since he isn’t a complex character is;‘’He thinks he is smart, he likes to lecture everyone, is a bookworm and is occasionally loyal to other smurfs’’So, people identity him as misunderstood smurf by many, which actually makes sense in the real world. Believe me; I’ve been through all this. We all had a small ego at some point and we all want to doubt ourselves from time to time. And on occasion, he has a soft side even if he doesn’t show it often. It’s true that he is an arrogant smurf who thinks he knows everything but not completely arrogant; when I think of arrogant characters, I think of them as someone who barely shows any weaknesses and instead just keeps boasting about their ego. I believe that 2021 Hefty smurf speaks for him. Because at least, you can easily expose Brainy’s vulnerable side, it’s as if Brainy’s ego has been passed on to Hefty smurf/Smurfette through a machine called ‘’Electric smurf-essence personality transfer’’ before they entered the Nickelodeon studio. Truly arrogant characters who barely get their weaknesses exposed are Scrappy-doo, Velma 2023, Smurfette 2021, Dhar mann, Blossom and Buttercup from 2016, a couple of Mary sues like Barbie, a few nerd stereotypes and of course, jock-stereotypes who’s only weaknesses is their crush on a girl which doesn’t excuse them for being ego-istical. Speaking of vulnerable side, this leads me to reason no.2 why people are Brainy fansReason 2: They claim to have the same sight as himI can’t believe I’m about to say this! I don’t mean to disrespect anyone!‘’Blind without em’’ is a very popular TV trope which first originated from Scooby-doo and it has been passed on from various generations including Western Animation, comics books, anime and more. You know where this is going. What’s funny is that, non-Brainy fans are saying that they find Brainy annoying and the smurfs characters also say that Brainy is annoying, the fans of him, compliment him. And the moment that Brainy is deprived of glasses, it becomes opposite day as every smurf and everyone, as the audience of the smurfs, suddenly feels so bad for Brainy! I am not disrespecting Brainy or anyone, though, I do find it adorable when Brainy struggles being deprived of glasses, and it’s my guilty pleasure! (Yes, I’m a psychopath) Well, ‘’Blind without em’, trope has two ways of impacting people. You either say that you relate to them or become a lover of ‘’Nerd stereotype”. Everywhere I go, I have always seen Brainy fans claiming that Brainy has ‘’near-sightedness’’ and I am like, what? They seem to compare themselves to him, because they found a relatable character. They refuse to accept one to be blind without glasses completely and instead, assume that anyone who wears glasses in all TV shows means that they have ‘’severe near-sightedness’’ and don’t seem to come up with any other visual impairment conditions other than ‘’severe near-sightedness’’. So combine that with the other reason I have said and you have a fully fledged reason why people are Brainy fans. Before, I move on to my opinion and the main course, here are two short chapters with sub-reasons why people are Brainy fans They are Clumsy smurf fans since he is Brainy’s best friend in the 1981 series. They just feel bad for Brainy for getting beaten up by other smurfs. (Because the smurf franchise don’t accept any smurf being smart except Smurfette)Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get to my point of view.Chapter 2: Why I am a Brainy fan?I am a Brainy fan, not because I can relate to him. It’s for completely different reasons. I am not a typical smurf fan, for example;If I was a typical Smurfette fan, I would say that I like Smurfette because she is beautiful, cute and selfless. If I was a typical Clumsy smurf fan, I would either have to be a Smurfette fan or a Brainy fan to be a Clumsy smurf fan. If I was a typical Brainy smurf fan, I would either have to say that I relate to him, wear glasses that make me look like Brainy or both. Something I despise about humanity is that they always seem to judge anything from the looks and refuse to look at the details. It doesn’t just apply to smurfs. For example; people see Teen titans go and assume that it’s a trashy show just because of the comedy and looks. People hate ROTTMNT because the animation looks bad. In smurfs, people just see Brainy committing terrible acts in the show and assume he is evil. I have been a Brainy smurf fan for several years since age 8, when I first discovered the smurfs series. So, let’s get to the point. From time to time, Brainy can be proven to be resourceful. In episode ‘’Papa’s family album’’, I know that he didn’t save the smurfs but at least he spared some time by clogging the gears. In episode ‘’The Darkness monster’’, he actually manages to save Clumsy from falling off the bridge despite being deprived of glasses. He is friendly to others despite the mistreatment and it just feels like the franchise holds him back so much just to give more room for their blonde mascot to shine. Example; he actually admires Papa smurf and tries to be a leader like him despite his poor performance. He also has strong opinions and constantly feels the need to prove others despite the under-appreciation. But if Brainy attempts to do these actions, it’s considered as ego-istical. Meanwhile, Smurfette is also proven to admire Papa smurf, wishing to be the leader, constantly feels the need to prove others around her and has strong opinions and that’s considered, ‘’independent strong and smart girl.’’ I will admit that it’s rare for Brainy to commit smart and really good acts in any smurf generation because it just feels like the franchise hates Brainy and doesn’t want him to shine. It’s more common now in the Nickelodeon series but I don’t think Brainy went through any change. You can check episode ‘’the Pluffs’’ or ‘’Smurfy secrets’’ or I better recommend you ‘’Chef Soup,’’ where Brainy attempts to redeem himself. And every time someone is going to claim that Brainy is a coward, how about I throw you three episodes! ‘’Papa’s family album’’‘’The Darkness monster’’‘’Smurfy secrets’’Let them speak for themselves! Why when Brainy has good character in these episodes, we still call him ‘’ego-istical and arrogant’’? And when Smurfette does a horrible act in 2021 series, it’s considered ‘’impulsiveness?’’ If you compare Brainy’s actions in 1981 series to Smurfette’s actions in 2021, while Brainy’s actions may be slightly more severe and more often, they both don’t learn from their mistakes but at least Brainy gets comeuppance from his actions, while Smurfette is quickly forgiven without any punishment. It’s as if the qualities of Brainy are sucked out of him and thrown to Smurfette then they tossed Brainy aside and made him a butt-monkey forever. Yes, and I mean the elements that Smurfette claims to have; curious, smart, resourceful. If Brainy decides to be resourceful, he is punished by Papa smurf.For example in episode ‘’Mind the cat,’’ Brainy literally decided himself to help Gargamel but is scolded by Papa smurf because it’s ‘’risky’’. He literally used quick thinking to grab the key from Papa smurf and free himself and Smurfette, allowing her to use her potential. In ‘’Where’s Papa smurf’’ he literally wanted to redeem himself after realizing his actions. But in the end, he doesn’t get the praise and instead Smurfette does it. If Brainy (and Hefty too) decides to be curious, it apparently causes problems. And if he does something smart, there is no appreciation for it. Seriously, it’s as if the writers set up three rules for Brainy (and Hefty smurf) and told him to follow them strictly. He is not allowed to be curious, smart and resourceful He is not allowed to be independent and capable He is not allowed to admire Papa smurf (even though literally everyone admires Papa smurf but only Smurfette can do that)I am not saying that I am going to forgive Brainy for his actions committed in the 1981 series. I am only complaining about the franchise unfair treatment of its characters. If anyone commits the same severity of actions as Smurfette or even worse, grounded by Papa smurf, if Smurfette does the same, no punishment! She is just being ‘’impulsive!’’ Hefty demonstrates impulsiveness better than you, Smurfette!!!And I really hate how people don’t seem to pay attention to any details, but if you want to come up with an excuse for it, just say that you hate the character so much that you don’t want to find any good detail in them. If you hate or love something, if you don’t have any excellent reason, then at least come up with a great excuse, no matter how nonsensical and hypocritical it is! Who cares if people do not appreciate it!? ‘’Papa’s family album,’’ ‘’The Darkness monster’’ and ‘’Smurfy secrets’’ are the only episodes that reveals Brainy’s true potential. If he shows any potential in any other episode, it is quickly erased. It makes me wonder, why even bother to make Brainy, Papa smurf’s apprentice/lab assistant? If the franchise wants us to hate Brainy, why did you give them this job? Brainy doesn’t gain any benefits from this job! If you hate him so much, toss him into a couple of books, make him a bookworm, AND DON’T TOUCH BRAINY EVER AGAIN!!!!Instead, you give him several jobs much like you mutate Hefty and Smurfette’s whole personality every generation. First you make him a bookworm, then you make him the ‘’villain,’’ then you make him the main character in a movie, (the franchise’s biggest regret because it isn’t Smurfette’s centered) then you make a ‘’science genius!?” with memory loss and now you put him on drugs with ‘’Object-Sexuality’’. And don’t you just love when the smurfs toss him out of the village for doing something as basic as complimenting Papa smurf or stating his opinion! It gives me a chuckle every single time! (The smurfs are terrible at comedy I’ll be honest, and I was being sarcastic) The final reason I like Brainy is something deep and fascinating to me, which is his vulnerability. By the way, I refuse to call Brainy coward, whether you like it or not.Do you notice that when Brainy is deprived of glasses, he becomes BRAVER, SMARTER AND KINDER!?!?In ‘’The darkness monster,’’ he apologizes to Clumsy for being mean-spirited towards him because now he is blind and helpless without his assistance. In Smurfy secrets, he was actually brave and smart, escaping from Gargamel’s lair all by himself, tricking his mother and succeeded to call a stork to bring him back to the village. And in episodes like, ‘’Smurf at a loss,’’ ‘’The pluffs,’’ ‘’Hefty’s heart’’, he is so vulnerable that he has no choice but to rely on other smurfs for help. (Ok, maybe not in episode ‘’Smurf at a loss’’ that was a terrible example) If only they revealed Smurfette’s vulnerable side, instead of making her either a generic stereotypical damsel in distress who is scared of insects (not even a fear to begin with) or make her a dramatic Mary sue by reminding us again and again that she is not a real smurf. (I also love the fact that Brainy doesn’t bother engaging in dates where Smurfette picks a boyfriend to marry as he doesn’t have romantic interest for Smurfette. Respect to him, Vanity and Handy smurf) So, you see guys, this is the reason why I am a Brainy smurf fan. It’s not what you expected. I have written three journals about three different smurf characters so far. You can check them. I will never understand the humor behind the franchise’s mistreatment of Brainy and their hatred towards nerds like him. I wish that the franchise gave Brainy (and Hefty) more episodes to shine instead of just focusing so much on Smurfette to the point that they don’t even care about Papa smurf anymore despite him being the leader. Thankfully, there are fans who gave him more respect in their fan fiction stories. I honestly think that Brainy smurf deserves better. The only time I actually hated Brainy is the episode ‘’Where’s my smurfway?’’. It was a terrible Brainy-centered episode and I do not recommend any Brainy smurf fan to watch this. Why couldn’t he be friends with Clumsy? Why does the franchise hate him (and Hefty) so much? I am sorry if I made any Brainy smurf fan made but you will be shocked at what Nickelodeon posted on their Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxvc-wdvT4Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== So, that’s all for this post. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it....

Please don’t kick me out of this group but here is the reason that I love Brainy. 

I like when he loses his glasses. I like when he suffers, complains and so. He looks so cute without his glasses. The darkness monster episode of smurfs is my favorite 

Please don’t kick me out! Waaaah! Waaaah!
